At TopSeashells.com, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website, and your choices regarding their use.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, and shopping cart items) over a period of time.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use two main categories of cookies to ensure you have a smooth experience browsing our shells:

1. Essential (Internal) Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the website to function. They allow you to add items to your cart, remain logged into your account, and complete your purchase securely.
2. Performance & Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This helps us see which seashells are most popular and identifies areas where we can improve the shopping experience.

3. The Cookies We Set

1. Session/Internal: Maintains your shopping cart and login status. Set for 1 years
2. Analytics: Collects anonymous data on site traffic and user behavior. Set up to 2 years

4. Third-Party Cookies

Aside from Google Analytics, we do not allow third-party advertising trackers or "pixel" cookies on our site. Google Analytics cookies collect information anonymously; they report website trends without identifying individual visitors.
